Looking after your system
Looking after it is simple, and it helps at the next service:
- Clean the filters between services, as the manual describes
- Shut doors to the room so the system isn’t cooling the whole house
- Keep the service records with the warranty paperwork
Put the next service in the diary straight away. Many people book in spring, before the cooling season, or in autumn if they use the system for heating although we service all year round.
Keep the area around the outdoor unit clear. Leaves, garden waste, bins and climbing plants all restrict the airflow and should be moved away.
What air conditioning won’t do
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A system that’s too small for the room it serves
- Pipework or drainage that was badly installed in the first place
- A refrigerant leak, which needs finding and repairing, not topping up
If you are not sure, just call 07833 053749 and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How it works
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit, and we tidy up before we leave. Somewhere like Great Hallingbury, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- We start with the details of the system and anything you’ve noticed.
- Inside, the filters, coil and drain tray of each indoor unit are cleaned.
- Outside, the coil is cleaned, the fan checked and the area cleared.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- We explain what we found and price any repair before it’s done.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
How to get a quote
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Great Hallingbury
How often should air conditioning in Great Hallingbury be serviced?
For most homes, once a year. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Do you cover Great Hallingbury for air conditioning servicing?
Yes, Great Hallingbury is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
When is an F-gas leak check required?
It depends on the system’s tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e). From 5 to under 50 tCO2e, leak checks are required at least every 12 months, and from 50 to under 500 tCO2e every 6 months. Hermetically sealed systems under 10 tCO2e are exempt.
How long does an air conditioning service take?
A service takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. Any repair found on the day is priced and agreed before it’s done, so phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier to arrange a time.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Do I need a service to keep the manufacturer’s warranty?
Each manufacturer sets its own terms. Some warranties may include conditions about regular servicing, so check the terms for your system. We are happy to go through them with you, and our service record shows the work was done.
What does an air con service involve?
The service covers the indoor units and the outdoor unit: the filters, coils, drain and fans, followed by the wiring, controls and refrigerant performance. You get a record of the visit.
What affects the cost of air conditioning servicing
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The brand, model and parts involved
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
